If id of known the shell was in such a bad way id of ran a mile, but live and learn and at least it is getting done as it should be now.

its hard to make out , but all the swages and the leading edge were batterd , deffo had a rear end shunt in its life,

karl spen most of the day straigtening it coat of red etch to help see the dings ,

alost bk there to straight and square





just waiting on sourcing a mk 4 back panel

I thought we had sorted the rear panel situation. did it not fit?

glad the rear quarter arrived, there would have been a big gap if it didnt.
